The Fall Final Four! Inside The Battle For College Football National Championship

While we have been looking back at the year that was 2017, four talented college football squads are looking forward to the National Championship. This year has been an intense one on the college gridiron, and today we take a look at the battle for the college football national championship. This time of year can be packed full of drama when it comes to college football, and if you are a fan, you have probably already had some of your own. Well, now it comes down to four teams, which are supposed to be the best in the nation.

Those teams this year are Clemson at number 1, Oklahoma at number 2, while number three goes to Georgia, and Alabama sits at number four. While all of these teams had great seasons, only losing one game respectively through the season. Clemson at number 1, Oklahoma at number 2, while number three goes to Georgia, and Alabama sits at number four. No.1 Clemson will first do battle with No. 4 Alabama, while No. 2 Oklahoma and their Heisman Trophy-winning QB will go head to head against an overrated No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs team. This season has had plenty of drama and plenty of great games, and we hope that makes for a great college football playoff as we head toward the national championship. Now for a closer look at these games and our predictions!

Clemson Vs. Alabama

First, let’s take a look at the battle between Clemson and Alabama. Both teams come into the playoffs with one loss, and also serves as a rubber match between the last two national champions. This is sure to be a big one, especially since Clemson beat Alabama 35-31 on Jan. 1 2017. Both teams come with high-powered offenses that can really do damage. Alabama must have a big game from Jalen Hurts, while Clemson is hoping to have the same from Kelly Bryant. Both of these players are going to be significant keys for victory. Alabama has a bit more experience when it comes to big games, as does Jalen Hurts, which could certainly come into play. Alabama’s health will undoubtedly come into play, as they have played this season with the loss of Christian Miller, Terrell Lewis, Shaun Dion Hamilton and Ross Pierschbacher. Clemson’s front seven is dominant and looks to have a big game. While this is sure to be a hotly contested game and one to see, we feel Alabama has too many tools and will end up coming out on top, taking their talents to the National Championship game once again.

Oklahoma has had an incredible season, and their Heisman Award-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield is looking to get another piece of hardware before this season ends. They have a Georgia Bulldog squad in front of them looking to throw them off the scent of that National Championship. Both teams come into the game with one loss, and both games are coming in with impressive performances throughout the season. While I feel that Georgia is a bit overrated, you never know what can happen on any given day. Keys to victory will lie in Oklahoma’s offense, as Baker Mayfield looks to put up big yards and big plays. He must play well and minimize turnovers, while going up against a tough SEC opponent. Georgia’s key to victory will be their halftime adjustments and if they hang with the high power offense. If the Bulldogs come out and play the way they did against Auburn in their first meeting, this will not be much of a game; which is what I expect to happen. Sorry Bulldog fans, don’t expect to get past Oklahoma; better luck next season.

Both of these squads have had incredible seasons, and both teams have put up some impressive numbers on the way to the National Title. We expect these two to battle for the top spot, showing off their respective talents and contrasting style. This game will pit two of college football’s best quarterbacks against one another, and will find two teams with incredible firepower on both sides of the ball going at it. While we feel this will be an incredible game, we also feel that Alabama has too much experience and too much talent on all sides not to take home the hardware.

Look, we are fans of the SEC and watching Alabama dominate all year, how could we not put our money on the Crimson Tide? Jalen Hurts has progressed nicely through the season, and since they did not win the SEC crown, expect Alabama to be hungry and a bit mad rolling into the championship game. Sure, we are Gator fans at heart and our dislike for Alabama is real, but Alabama is too good to bet against. Expect big things from Alabama in the national championship and expect another title to head to Tuscaloosa.
